Bjejox is a rich, nonindustrial desert world with no free-standing water.

  • It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
  • This world is rich with high-grade living conditions, a good climate, and a non-harmful environment. Immigration registration for this world is always in high demand.
  • It is a member of the Krotan Primacy in the Gn'rr!k!ghooghii Subsector of Gzirr!k'l Sector.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

World Starport (St)[edit]

Bjejox has a Class A Starport, an excellent quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Population (P)[edit]

Bjejox has a population of 9,000,000 sophonts (millions).

  • This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.
  • Krotan world statistics represent all adult and mobile Krotan. The "shoals" on a given world will hold around 100 sessile pre-adult, senescent or post-adult Krotan for every active adult.

World Languages[edit]

Krotan communicate through audible shell vibrations. With aliens, the Krotan rely on computerised translators. The planet name is representative of nouns as translated into Humanoid-suitable speech.

  • Krotan is highly efficient, both detailed and terse.

World Technology Level (T)[edit]

Bjejox possesses a Technology Level of TL–11 or TL-B in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Government (G)[edit]

Bjejox has a Balkanized Government. There is no central world government. The world has several governments competing for control of the world. These may be allies, cooperating, competitors, or at war with each other.

  • Note that Krotan do not actually factionalise as most species do. Adult Krotan are a stage in the species' lifecycle between sessile youth and equally sessile old age -- every Krotan adult knows that they came from the shoal and will return to it. Disagreement is resolved by the shoal or dealt with through classic Krotan avoidance strategy, ignoring the other party.
  • A Balkanized government rating among Krotan likely indicates that several distinct shoals are present in different parts of the planet; there is likely no conflict between them. Alternatively, it could refer to different shoals ignoring one another as part of the "shelling out" avoidance strategy.

World Military[edit]

The Krotan have no dedicated military but maintain something like a militia, where individuals learn basic combat skills should they be necessary to protect their world. Their personal weapon technology is relatively primitive for their Tech Level, because they find heavy weapons to be the most efficient way to deal with opposition.
